Propeller with self regulated pitch

Propeller with self regulated pitch

Propeller with self regulated pitch

(OP)
Hello!

Does anyone has information or links about propeller which could adjust the blade angle with own forces acting on blade and change the pitch in the best position?

Thanks;
Michael

RE: Propeller with self regulated pitch

Ballistic may be looking for alternatives to the common form of the constant speed prop or the governing mechanism.  If that's the case, try first the Patent Office http://www.uspto.gov/ because many variations of the idea have been tried over the years.  Springs, flyweights, hydraulics, pneumatics, electric motors, you name it, I bet it's been tried.
